So long and thanks for all the fish
Well, it’s time for an au revoir from me. I’m headed for the offset side with a new to me D5.
I have enjoyed D3 and D4 ownership, but it’s getting too expensive to keep it maintained, and I fancied a change.
I will still be lurking here on the forum, and I’ll have a few D4 and D3 bits to sell.

That statement kind of implies that D5 owners don’t have the same number of issues that D3 & D4 owners have.
